The answer is obviously yes.
Why? I don't know, I agree sanctions are not really harming the political leaders. However, the UN in it's ultimate wisdom and supreme fear of actually doing anything constructive has decreed that we shall attempt to talk saddam hussein into submission and use economic sanctions against him. What the sanctions do, do is to limit the amount of funds he has available to buy materials of war from external nations, so there is one positive aspect of the sanctions.
By the way, your question is really phrased badly...you say only answer yes or no...then instruct people to write more than a simple yes or no.
